Raspberry Vanilla Coffee Cake


Raspberry Vanilla Coffee Cake - healthy

Do not skip this post!

True, there’s no chocolate, no peanut butter, and no Oreos. (Your attention is waning already, isn’t it?) But just because a dessert might not be Super Nutella Triple Threat Fudge Cake doesn’t mean it can’t still taste delicious.

(By the way, why don’t I have a Super Nutella Triple Threat Fudge Cake on the blog?)

This light raspberry yogurt cake has a melt-in-your-mouth texture and tastes like a giant breakfast pastry. It’s definitely something worth waking up for!

Raspberry Breakfast Cake

Raspberry Vanilla Coffee Cake

(makes 10 slices)

  • 1 cup milk of choice (240g)
  • 1/2 cup vanilla-flavored yogurt (such as Wholesoy or Silk) (115g)
  • 1 tbsp ground flax (5g)
  • 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (6g)
  • 3 tbsp coconut or veg oil (30g)
  • 2 cups spelt flour, all-purpose, or Bob’s gf (250g)
  • 2/3 cups xylitol or sugar (or sucanat) (130g)
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/16 tsp pure stevia, or 2 extra tbsp sugar (or 2 NuNaturals packets)
  • 1 2/3 cups raspberries (230g)
  • 1/3 cup more raspberries (50g)
  • optional: chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 F, and grease a 9 1/2-in springform pan. Combine first 5 ingredients (yes, the flax too) and whisk. Set aside. In a separate, large measuring bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except the final 1/3 cup raspberries, and stir well. Pour wet into dry and stir until evenly combined (don’t overmix). Pour into the prepared pan, then sprinkle the remaining berries on top. Bake 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out relatively clean. Cool the healthy raspberry coffee cake in pan on a wire rack, 15 minutes, then remove the sides of the pan.

Question of the Day:

Did you fall for any April Fool’s jokes yesterday?

I told my sister that Kate Middleton was having triplets. She was very excited… and then very mad at me! Also, just to clarify: In case anyone missed the end of yesterday’s post and didn’t notice the awful photoshopped picture of me at the beginning, yes it was an April Fool’s joke. Thanks for all the congratulations emails and comments… I wish it were true, but it’s not!

  4. Bianca- Vegan Crunk says:

    Did somebody say “Super Nutella Triple Threat Fudge Cake”? Oh wait….sorry, I got distracted by how awesome that sounded! But raspberry coffee cake looks tasty too. Maybe even better schmeared with vegan Nutella.

  5. Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says:

    I’ve never actually had a flavored coffee cake, just regular coffee cake, this sound delicious!

  6. karlie says:

    Looks great! FYI though, the nutition link isn’t working-it just goes to a blank page that says “recipage” 🙁

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      It should be working. Sometimes Recipage takes a little while to load, but it’s working on my end. Is it still down for you?

  7. Emilia says:

    This looks delicious! I love raspberries and coffee cake, though I am always put off by how shockingly unhealthy it is. These updates (yogurt!) make it look much more palatable. A dessert I’ll skip chocolate for 🙂

  8. Abby says:

    Yum! This cake looks SO delicious!! I’ll have to try it soon! 🙂

  9. Kaira says:

    The only pranks that got played on me were when my sister hid all our bookmarks in a folder, I thought they had all disappeared. I played a lot of pranks though, my brother’s got their rooms prettied up, my sisters got their beds tied up with string and mysterious messages popped up on our computer desktop. Oh, and I served brown E’s for dinner. (Paper with brown e’s drawn on it.) 🙂 That cake looks delicious.

  13. Lucy says:

    you really fooled me yesterday! anyway- what flour did you use out of all of them?

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      That’s spelt in the photos. But if I list a gf option for a recipe, one of my friends or I have always tested it as well.
